- What I've found is the same thing: Regular price at BJ's is the Sale price at
- any Pathmark/ShopRite. However, that's why I do most of the shopping at the
- warehouse club:
-
- - The "good" price is available all the time; I don't have to wait for a sale
- for specific items at the local supermarket
- - Since I have to buy "quantity" at BJ's, I only go there every 1 1/2 months
- or so. I supplement that with dairy/specialty items at the Pathmark. I've
- found this to be an ENORMOUS time saver. I used to go to Pathmark once
- every 10 days or so and spend an hour. Now I do a mega-shopping at BJ's
- (2 hours maybe) and go to Pathmark about once every two weeks, PLUS I can
- get on the express line at Pathmark since I'm not buying all that many
- things!
-
- Of course, certain items are not really cheaper at the clubs, such as 2-liter
- sodas (Coke, Pepsi) which are always cheap locally, and certain perennial
- loss-leaders (cans of tuna, 1/2 gal orange juice, dozen eggs for $.69, etc.).
